Re: Lightweight browsers [Solved]

Just a note in case it may widen your choices... SFF (small form factor) computers that have DisplayPort Video ports can also be used for HDMI, an inexpensive DisplayPort to HDMI cable from Amazon will work.

Re: Lightweight browsers [Solved]

The Ryzen 5 5xxx series is really fast, but even the cheap Ryzen 5 3500u is ~5x as fast as your n3700. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/2513vs3421/Intel-Pentium-N3700-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-3500U Thanks, Tim.
